                                                                 Austin, Texas

     FOR VALUE RECEIVED,  SecureCARE  Technologies,  Inc., a Nevada corporation,
whose address is 3001 Bee Caves Road - Suite 150, Austin, TX 78746 (herein after
the "Maker" or the  "Company")  promises to pay to the order of XXXXXX in lawful
money of the United States of America,  the principal  amount of XXXXX ($XX,XXX)
together  with  interest at the rate of twelve  percent  (12%) per year thirteen
months  from the date of this  note or on  occurrence  of the  Company's  or its
successors  next financing,  whichever is earlier.  This note includes a renewal
option for another two months at the option of the note holder.

     The Company  shall use the  proceeds  of this note for working  capital and
general corporate purposes.

     In addition,  the Company will issue X,XXX warrants, of three year life, to
the note  holder,  to  purchase  shares of the  Company's  common  stock with an
exercise  price of the lesser of 75% of the per share purchase price on the date
of this note or 75% of $1.00 per share.

     This  Convertible  Note will be  convertible  into the common  stock of the
Company at the option of the holder. The number of shares of common stock issued
on  conversion  shall equal the amount of the  Convertible  Debenture  converted
divided by the Conversion Price then in effect.  The "Conversion  Price" for the
Convertible  Debenture shall be the lesser of (a) 120% of the lowest closing bid
price of the Company's  common stock during a pricing  period  consisting of the
ten (10) trading  days  preceding  the date of this note (the "Fixed  Conversion
Price") or (b) eighty  percent  (80%) of the  lowest  closing  bid price for the
common  stock in the five (5) trading  days  immediately  preceding  the date of
conversion  (the "Future  Conversion  Price").  For purposes of determining  the
closing bid price on any day,  reference shall be to the closing bid price for a
share of common stock on such date on the NASD OTC Bulletin  Board,  as reported
on  Bloomberg,  L.P.  (or  similar  organization  or  agency  succeeding  to its
functions of reporting prices).

     In the  event  of  default  in  any  payment  due  under  this  convertible
promissory  note,  which  remains  unpaid for a period of ten days or more,  the
principal and accrued interest amount shall  immediately  become due and payable
without any further demand or request.

     If any  payment of  principal  or  interest  on this Note  becomes  due and
payable on a Saturday,  Sunday or public  holiday under the laws of the State of
Texas,  the due date  hereof  shall be  extended  to the  next  succeeding  full
business day. All payments  received by the holder shall be applied first to the
payment of accrued interest and then to principal.

     This Note together with the interest  thereon may be prepaid in whole or in
part at any time,  but each  prepayment  shall be in whole  number  multiples of
$1,000 or such lesser amount as may then remain  outstanding  on this Note.  All
prepayments  shall be applied to first to accrued  interest  and  thereafter  to
principal.
